Testing performed with a Matrix LCD
body directly wired to a microprocessor based controller. The Matrix
was fired in 10 shot bursts with no barrel, into a catch box to count and
verify the paintballs. DraXxus Hellfire paint was used for testing,
with the hopper loaded with 100 paintballs. At each rate of fire
level, the Matrix was fired in a 10 shot burst, and the number of successfully
fed and fired paintballs was recorded. If, after three trials at
a given rate of fire, at least two resulted in all 10 paintballs being
fed, the loader was tested again, at the next highest rate of fire.

Boosted HALO using only the Lithium
Ion battery pack.

Notes: No paintballs broke during the
testing, and there were no mis-fed balls in either mode, prior to the failure
level. The repeated failure pattern of 8 and 9 ball strings, followed
by a 10 ball string at the failure level for both settings seemed unusual
and prompted the testing of two more 20 ball per second strings in Boost
mode, the first of which fed 6 balls and the second of which fed 9.
